Miriam, I have the book in my library. I read it. I do not agree with Mr. Ioanid research in some points. He is making all efforts to please
Mr. Elie Wiesel, who pays his salary, and is far from unbiased. This is not the forum to
discuss this subject.

The numbers you quoted are exactly as in
http://isurvived.org/Transnistria.html

             Of the Jews who had been deported to
             Transnistria, a total of 145,000 to 150,000, some 90,000
             perished there. Many of the remaining survivors were
             allowed to return to Romania in 1945 and 1946.

Cheers,

Miha

  PS:
I also read with interest Mr. Ioanid other book, also in my library "
The Ransom of the Jews: The Story of Extraordinary Secret Bargain
Between Romania and Israel " As my father, who was arrested by Communist
in 1957, was sentenced to death and them commuted to life in prison, was
ransomed by both the State of Israel and my family from Venezuela,
acting through a British Jewish layer. This happened in 1969, after not
seeing my father for 12 years.

Cheers,

Miha
